EMBROIDERY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 466,566, dated January5, 1892. Application filed August 3, 1891. Serial No. 401,548. (Nospecimensd I To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, OAsPAR J. JENNY, a citizen of Switzerland, residingat St. Gall, in the Republic of Switzerland, have invented certain newand useful Embroidery, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved embroiderywhich is adapt and 2 represent front and b'ackchain-stitches of myimproved embroidery. Fig. 3 shows said front and back chain-stitchesunited as they are in the embroidery. Fig.4: is a vertical transversesectional view on the line A E of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 represents in lines thechain-stitches on one side of the fabric for a certain pattern. Fig. 6represents in lines the chain-stitches for the same pattern on theopposite side of the fabric, and Fig. 7 represents in lines thechain-stitches of Figs. 5 and go 6 united in one'pattern. v

Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts. A To producea certain pattern of embroidery, a suitable piece of fabric, preferablya light 5 fabric, is stitched over upon one face with chain-stitches a,such as shown in Fig. 1, and according to a certain pattern-for example,as shown in Fig. 5. Then the same piece of the fabric is stitched overwith chain-stitches 40 1) upon the other side or back, according toanother corresponding pattern-as, for example, is shownin Fig. 6-and sothat the back stitches serve as a means for uniting and holding thefront stitches, and,vice versa',

5 the front stitches serve as a means for uniting and holding thestitches on the back. The

fabric upon which the stitches are made is destroyed by means of acidsin any desired manner, as has hitherto been practiced with commonloom-stitched goods or embroidery-work made in imitation of the lace.The patterns for the chain-stitches on the frontaud the patterns for thechain-stitches on the back must be so selected that the chain-stitcheson the front and the chain-stitches on the back cross each 5 5 other andinterlock and the back portion is united with the front portion by meansof stitches extending partially through, so that when the fabric isdestroyed in any known manner only the front and back chain-stitches 6:)will remain and will reciprocally support and bind each other. If, forexample, no stitches were produced on the back of the fabric, the frontstitches could easily be unraveled by simply pulling them. The backchain-stitch work does not only serve for the purpose of combining andholding the front stitches; but when the fabric is destroyed said backstitches appear and with the front stitches complete the fabric, as thedesign forthe front stitches and the design for the back stitches areeach only a part of the design of the completed embroidery;

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- As a new article of manufacture, a chainstitchembroidery having front chain-stitches produced on lines representingone part of the design of the completed article and back chain stitchesinterlocking with the front chain-stitches and produced on linesrepresenting the remaining part of the design of the completed article,substantially as set forth. 8

In testimony whereof I hereunto sign 7 my name, in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses, this 10th day of July, 1891.
